lyrics
Monsters and midnight fighting away light,
The morning's not calling and we are dissolving in moonlight
The darkness is daunting, like reality taunting
A corpse of a dream has me questioning all I've been wanting
And everything's rearranging around me
And everything's rearranging around me
The fight may be a good one, but I'll fire no gun
Cause love with my winner and I tell no love comes from guns
I'm alone in this city, perspiring self pity
Creating the a song that I'd never have sung were I happy
And everything's rearranging around me
And everything's rearranging around me
The morning's not calling and we are dissolving in moonlight
The darkness is daunting, like reality taunting
A corpse of a dream has me questioning all I've been wanting
And everything's rearranging around me
And everything's rearranging around me
The fight may be a good one, but I'll fire no gun
Cause love with my winner and I tell no love comes from guns
I'm alone in this city, perspiring self pity
Creating the a song that I'd never have sung were I happy
And everything's rearranging around me
And everything's rearranging around me
